About this house rental

Nestled in Wakefield, this attractive house for $450 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. Bring your family and get ready to reconnect. Relax while the kiddos enjoy abundant opportunities for outdoor fun. Peaceful, year-round home with 100' private, direct lakefront and 24' dock in wooded lot on Lake Ivanhoe. Hear the loons and enjoy the wildlife. Great fishing lake. Relax from the deck, dock, new screen room, raft, or child-friendly, walk-in sandy beach. Open floor plan with windows that overlook lake but are surrounded by trees for natural privacy, and perfect southwestern exposure. New dishwasher, new gas stove, new refrigerator and new furnace. New windows. New wrap-around deck. Newish hardwood floors, working fireplace. Ceiling fans in main room and bedrooms. King bedroom and two twin bunk beds upstairs. Rest of lower level has third bedroom with king bed, and a large TV room with two sofas and half-bath, and walk-out to lake. Gas grill, fire-pit with 6 chairs and free super-high speed, gigabit Wi-Fi inside and outside. Town with welcoming restaurants and full supermarket is 5 miles away, Wolfeboro is 20 minutes and North Conway & White Mountains are 45 minutes. Enjoy nature and the slower pace from a comfortable home! Guests have shared many positive reviews of how peaceful the property is, and how secluded it feels. The property is not a good fit for someone that is not comfortable with an older home and its nuances. It’s a rustic, low-key , 50-year old lakefront home surrounded by trees, chipmunks, insects, etc. It's a well-loved place enjoyed by many families--some of the same families over the years because it's relatively upgraded, clean, and has great, private waterfront. It's still a campy NH place. The kitchen is open concept but on the smaller side with smaller stovetop and frig (bar frig downstairs). If you are seeking a different experience, or have questions, please let us know. Owner is responsive, reasonable and courteous, but high-maintenance guests are not a good fit. Recent upgrades and enhancements • 2023 new 16x20 deck with screen room and cushioned, outside seating for 6. (picture coming soon) • 2023 added doors to the outdoor shower --of course with hot and cold water • 2023 new curtains in main room and floor runners • 2021 new windows • addition of two kayaks: two-person and a one-person • new deck • new outdoor lighting--dimmable or bright • Restored seats for existing canoe and rowboat, new paddles and oars--5 total watercraft including paddleboard • Two separate dining areas--enjoy 6 seat picnic for family meals on the deck, but still be able to getaway for a bite at lakefront • Additional seating and lounging furniture lakefront • More outdoor games: horseshoes, ring-toss and cornhole • New glassware and dishes • New set of Cuisinart pots and pans, including lobster pot • Simpler control of Sonos indoor and outdoor music system • Simpler TV control --all 3 bedrooms and both common rooms • Completed landscaping for completely walkable lakeside area • Crafts for the kiddos NOTE: cameras are used in the driveway and inside utility room for safety and in case of any mechanical problems, but there are no cameras in the living area or beach area.

We had a wonderful week at the lake! We most especially loved all the outdoor water activities, simply jumping off the dock, canoeing, and fishing. You can tell the owner is working hard to clean up the property and we appreciated the privacy and lake access. The fire pit and outdoor lighting were also great! Christians communication was outstanding and I’d highly recommend renting from him!

We spent a week up at the cabin and it was perfect! Location was great!! Loved being right on the lake. The wrap around porch looking out to the lake and down to the fire pit (where we spent most of our time) was awesome! Owner was friendly and cabin was kept quite tidy. Can’t wait to go back!!

We had an amazing week. The property had everything we needed, and we spent most of the time using the provided kayaks and rowboat, swimming off the dock, and sitting by the fire. As others have said, the property feels very private of the surrounding trees, and was a great getaway spot.

I was a bit last minute looking for a place we could go and enjoy some winter activities as a family. So I was happy to find Christian's place which looked perfect. It's always hard to find a good place with two little kids and a dog but this was it. We drove 35 mins to King Pine Ski Area and had a great time snowboarding with the kids for the 1st time. We did a little hike on Goat Hill Trail. The house was great because the kids loved the downstairs large tv and couches. We enjoyed the view of the frozen lake and loved eating at the eat-in kitchen table. Overall was great and recommended in the winter but would love to come back and check it out in the summer next time!
